Remember that one day when you could wake up without an alarm? When you would get your favorite bowl of cereal and sit between the hours of 8 and 12? This is a blog dedicated to the greatest time of our childhood: Saturday mornings. The television programs you watched, the memories attached to them, and maybe introducing you to something you didn't realize existed. Updated every weekend.

Not satisfied with only one tie-in to the venerable
franchise, General Mills also commissioned a second cereal based on
Strawberry’s artistic friend from Big Apple City: Orange Blossom Cereal. Orange
Blossom (Diane McCannon) made
her animated debut in the second special, Strawberry
Shortcake in Big Apple City. The cereal was similar in appearance to
Strawberry’s, but with an orange flavor and coloring. The same box was also
used, with Orange standing in for Strawberry, and a back panel introducing
Strawberry and Orange’s world. For the uninitiated, an image of Strawberry was
placed on the front of the box to help establish the connection to the
franchise. The cereal debuted in 1982
alongside Strawberry Shortcake cereal, however its shelf-life was far shorter
in comparison disappearing before its parent cereal.
